Hey Al, the sewing machine was one of the first ever electric machines. Bought it at an auction a few weeks after we bought the house. The company name was New Home and the motor was made by Hamilton beach Co. Our last name is Hamilton so i just had to buy it. I have an antique radio from the 20's and an antique sideboard that my Great, great grandparents bought as there first piece of new purchased furniture from the original Sears company. Also have my Grandparents 1930's VictoiaVille dining suite.
